Location:
One of Edinburgh's most dynamic and well-connected neighbourhoods. Ideal for anyone seeking city life on their doorstep without sacrificing community spirit.
Leith Walk is lined with independent cafes, restaurants, bars, and everyday essentials, including Tesco Express, Lidl, and Co-op, plus gyms and specialty shops that make daily life easy and enjoyable.
Balfour Street itself is a wide, tree-lined residential street with Pilrig Park at one end, adding a calm, neighbourhood feel despite the area's energy. A tram stop near the junction of Leith Walk offers great convenience for travel into and out of town.
The area buzzes with culture: the Edinburgh Playhouse is a short walk away, while The Shore and wider Leith offer bistros, bars, and Michelin-starred restaurants alongside Ocean Terminal's shopping and leisure.
Exceptionally well served by public transport, with trams and frequent buses to the city centre and beyond, plus residents' permit parking on Balfour Street.
A neighbourhood that blends cultural interest with everyday convenience appealing to a wide range of buyers.
